Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Azure Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine in a particular Azure region for a 1-year or 3-year term. This commitment allows Microsoft to reserve capacity for you, and in return, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does a Reserved Instance save money?
By committing to a 1-year term, you are essentially pre-purchasing compute capacity at a lower rate than the on-demand price. This is ideal for workloads that run continuously or have predictable usage patterns.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
While you cannot change the instance type or region directly, Azure offers flexibility through the Azure Hybrid Benefit and the ability to exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, though terms apply.
